This Morning viewers were moved to tears after presenter Phillip Schofield agreed to clear a mum's debts so she could take her daughter on holiday.

The mum - named only as 'Jo' - called in to the show for advice after receiving a demand for rent.

She told Phillip and fellow presenter Holly Willoughby that she was now faced with around £1,000 worth of debt, the Daily Mirror reports , and that she didn't know how to cope.

Her voice cracking with emotion, Jo said the news had come just before her daughter's 11th birthday too.

Holly and Phil listened as Jo said: "I really want to be able to do stuff with her but at the moment I'm just affording to feed her [and pay for] gas and electric and to support us as a family never mind any of the added extras that an 11 year-old girl wants."

Agony Aunt Deirdre Sanders advised Jo to talk to the national debt-line and get support from charity Relate.

The show's holiday expert Simon Calder said she could try camping - but Phillip decided to go one step further and offered to clear the mum's debt.

He said: "Jo, it's our last day, we're in a very good mood - we're going to sort your debt out."

"Really?" said Jo. "Thank you so much."

"You're not in debt any more, OK?" said Phil, adding: "Have a lovely summer."
